East Lake Road and Allens Hill Road in the town of Richmond will be closed to through traffic at separate times in the coming weeks while crews work to replace large culverts.

According to Highway Superintendent Tom Fleig, through traffic will not be permitted on East Lake Road between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday, July 28 and Tuesday, July 29. Crews will be replacing a culvert near the intersection of County Road 33 between Berkeley and Sedgwick Streets, about a half-mile from Main Street, Honeoye.

The detour to access East Lake Road south of the construction site is around the lake on County Road 36 (West Lake Road), to East Lake Road.

On Monday, Aug. 4 and Tuesday, Aug. 5, Allens Hill Road will be closed to through traffic from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while two culvert pipes are replaced between Nighan Hill and Pierpont Roads. Traffic will be rerouted to Pierpont Road, Abbey Road, and Nighan Hill Road then back to Allens Hill Road, Fleig said.
